Thanks to those who commented, made a joke, made up a nickname, used the word BUNT, drank, got f***ed running, and shared having their hopes blasted to smithereens (again).

The old comments XML file crashes my IBM PS2, but I'm pretty sure Jason5280 predicted in the 2012 HW poll: "80 and 82 the hard way: Crash and burn." My 83 guess turned out to be right, just on wrong side of W-L column. Looking forward to enjoying this long buntless playoff bye.
